We were fecking doomed to draw Italy again, weren't we.. I was happy enough with Belgium and Sweden but getting Italy makes it look a bit brutal. Having said that I don't think I'd swap for the North's group, they are going to find that mighty tough going. I think we can beat Sweden on a good day, and hopefully battle to a point against one of the other 2, and let's see where that gets us.

Belgium and especially Italy aren't as good as people might think.
Belgium looked very ordinary a lot of the time during the last World Cup, whilst Italy are absolutely nowhere near the team they were 10 years ago. They still haven't replaced the likes of Pirlo and Cannavaro.
We can get out of this group, for sure. It most probably depends more on us playing well, producing a Germany performance rather than a Poland performance.
